My uncle, Johnnie Bland ( Co F, 517 PIR ) passed away today (Tuesday, Jan 11, 2011) He had lived in Georgia. if you knew him or had any stories to share, I would love to hear from you.I used to love to hear him talk about the outfit and his recollections of WWII. He had a high regard for the officers and men of the 517th.

My grandfather, Virgil Frances Dunleavy (sometimes misspelled Donleavy), was in the 517th PICT. He is listed in the 1944 Christmas roster as a Corporal. There is also a photo of him in the book Battling Buzzards. He is smoking a cigarette right before a jump. This is where his name is misspelled. There are also photos of him that Joseph Brody's son submitted. Virgil passed away in 1970 at the young age of 50. I was 13 at the time. I do have his Purple Heart. I am looking for any information on him. I will be at the mini reunion in Florida in January. My mother, his daughter, will be with me.

My brother-in-law, Robert A. Button, was in the 517th . He passed away Dec 2, 2010. His discharged papers indicated he received the Silver Star and the Bronze Metal. The Bronze he received was for his actions in the operation at de Muy, France. Does anyone remember him. If so, I would appreciate hearing about it.

My father, Gabriel Delesio, was a member of the 517th. He is 88 years old and still lives on his own in Newtown Square, PA. He would be thrilled to hear from anyone that remembers him. I would like to buy him a subscription to the Thunderbolt.

My father was Hershel Posey. He was a medic attached to 2 BN Co.E and I believe Co. F. Sadly he passed away 9 Sept. 2010. He always spoke of attending to many of the wounded on the battlefield. He kept in touch with many of his comrades as long as he could but I have never had the honor of speaking to any of you directly. If any would like to contact me about him please do.

My brother James and I had been told that our fathers records perished in the fire of 1973 and March 2010 we found a copy of our father's seperation record at the Indina State Library Archive where he signed for the post discharge bonus and the lifetime hunting and fishing license, Floyd Russell Perry is listed as being with the 517th Hq Co 2nd Bn when he was injured in combat Jan 7th and again on the 14th of 1945 in Belgium. We found him on the '44 Christmas Roster and he is on the document authorizing the Combat Infantryman Badge General Order #22 signed/ordered by Gen. Graves 14 Nov 1944. We are having his record reconstructed and the Army put the burden of proof that he parachuted on 15 Aug 1944 in Operation Varsity into Southern France for the Invasion Arrowhead on his EAME Theatre award that has the silver Star for 5 campaigns. Can anyone help proove that he was there. He died in the indy VA hospital of a staph infection i July 1961 when I was 3 and my brother was born a month later so we only had rumours to go on. In Italy he was at Naples Rome and North Africa with the 1178th Infantry MPs befor showing up on the documents for the 2nd Bn Hq Co 517th.
